Hatton, Warwickshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hatton is a village about 4 miles north of Warwick. Notable features include a remarkable series of canal locks, a shopping village (Hatton Country World) and a former psychiatric hospital (Central Hospital, Hatton) that has been turned into a large housing estate while still preserving the original Victorian buildings. The public house, the Waterman, has been noted for its regular large assemblies of motorbikes. Shrewley and Beausale are hamlets within the parish of Hatton.

[edit] Transport

Hatton is close to the M40 motorway and is also served by the small, unmanned station of Hatton, which lies on the main Birmingham Snow Hill to London Marylebone line and a small branch line to Stratford on Avon. Services from this station are run by Central Trains and Chiltern Railways and there are direct services to Stratford on Avon and intermediate stations, Warwick, Leamington Spa and stations to London Marylebone, and stations to Birmingham.
